Lyrics The Business

The Business

Ten Years

Mr. Rock 'N' Roll you look so right

with your clothes so dark and you hair so bright

Hanging round The Ship and the West End clubs

With the Midnight Boys and The Marquee mugs

Talking 'bout budgets and studio costs

With the has beens won't be's and they're all lost

Want to be like all the poseurs you meet

Let's teach you a lesson 'bout life on street

'Cos we're The Business from Lewisham

And it's ten years and we're still standing here

You'll never beat us

Ten years and we're still standing here

You'll never stop us

Guest lists and points for fixing the deal

But the paper means nothing if the cash ain't real

The Limelight The Slimelight The Alley Tin Pan

All the talk in the world and you ain't got a fan

It's all down to tak if the record's a flop

Your head is so empty the penny won't drop

So out of touch with realities beat

You'll never be part of life on the street
